“Acknowledge that for example you’re the only person on this stage that’s ever been fined for hiring people to work on your project illegaly,” Rubio said, “you hired some people from Poland.”

Trump replied, “No no, I’m the only one on the stage that’s hired people. You haven’t hired anybody.”

“What is your plan?” Rubio asked Trump, “I understand the lines around the states, whatever that means, this is not a game where you draw maps around -” “And you don’t know what it means,” Trump countered. “What is your plan on health care? You don’t have a plan. . . I’ll give him one minute from my time to explain his plan,” Rubio said.

“The nice part about the plan is you have many different plans,” Trump said, “you’ll have competition you’ll have so many different plans.” “Well now he’s repeating himself,” Rubio replied. “No no no no,” Trump said.

Rubio noted that Trump’s line of suits and ties have been made in Mexico and China. “You’re going to be starting a trade war against your own ties and suits,” Rubio said.

Cruz gets in on the action

“In 2013 when I was leading the fight against the ‘Gang of Eight’ amnesty bill, where was Donald?” he said. “He was firing Dennis Rodman on ‘Celebrity Apprentice.’ ”

“Donald, if you want to be liked in Washington, that’s not a good attribute for a president,” Cruz said.

“What we’re seeing with Donald, is actually the pattern of Washington,” Cruz said, “they make promises, they break their words and then when anyone calls them on it, they call you a liar. Anytime anyone points at Donald’s actual record, at what he actually said on national television, Donald yells ‘liar.’ Let me tell you something, falsely accusing someone of lying is itself a lie, and it’s something Donald does daily.”

Trump bites back:

“Here’s a guy that buys a house for $179,000, he sells it to a lobbyist who’s probably here for $380,000 and then legislation is passed,” Trump said. “You tell me about this guy. This is what we’re going to have as president.”

“I’m the only one on this stage who’s hired people!” Trump said. “You’ve had nothing but problems with your credit cards, et cetera,” he added, referring to issues Rubio has had with his personal finances. “You haven’t hired one person, you liar.”

“I got along with everybody,” Trump said, before turning to Cruz. “You get along with nobody. . . . You don’t have the endorsement of one Republican senator, and you work with them. You should be ashamed of yourself.”
